Chapter 350: Forcing People to Do What Is Difficult
"Second son's wife." Old Master Zhong spoke, his tone very stern, "Watch your words. What does the child's matter have to do with Nian Yao? Why do you have to cling to Nian Yao?"
This time, the doubts in everyone's mind were raised.
Li Yiqiu seemed to be convinced that Zhong Nianyao could help the child. But why was she so sure? Was it really just because Zhong Nianyao had saved her once before?
This statement seems a bit far-fetched.
"No, Zhong Nianyao has a way. She really does." Li Yiqiu insisted, "As long as she's willing to help, the child will definitely get better. Then he'll be able to be healthy like a normal person."
"Sister-in-law, you're asking too much." Even Zheng Siling, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but speak up. "Nian Yao isn't a living god, how could she possibly do that?"
Although their relationship was not that good in private, it was still acceptable in terms of appearance. So, she still visited Li Yiqiu during her hospitalization.
When she went to the hospital, she had asked the doctor about the child's condition. The doctor had already said that the child had suffered setbacks in the womb and was now born prematurely. Even if he recovered, he would definitely be frail and sickly, and would never be like a healthy person.
Now Li Yiqiu wants Zhong Nianyao, a college student who has not yet graduated, to do something that even a doctor cannot do. This is simply asking too much.
Not only Zheng Siling, but others also had the same idea. Even her husband, Zhong Mingyu, did not agree with Li Yiqiu's behavior.
"Who told you this?" Zhong Nianyao said with a half-smile, "Even I didn't know I had such a talent. Second Aunt knows me better than I do myself!"
Li Yiqiu seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing. She smiled to hide her feelings and quickly said, "I don't mean anything else. I just hope that you can help your little cousin for the sake of our family."
"If I really had such ability, I wouldn't be sitting here." Zhong Nianyao shook her head, finding it funny. "To achieve that, I'm afraid you'd have to have incredible abilities!"
The child was born prematurely and was born with a deficiency. Even with proper care, he would never be able to be the same as a normal person. Of course, there are other ways, that is to find a way to change his fate. Or, like what happened to Zhao Xuanlang before, he could exchange his life with someone else.
However, no matter which method she used, it was a crooked path and would bring retribution. She would never do such a thing.
Li Yiqiu opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mr. Zhong.
"Second son's wife, what you need to do now is to have a good rest." Old Master Zhong cast a stern look on Li Yiqiu. "The child will receive the best care in the hospital. After the child is discharged, we will also provide the best treatment for him. There will be a professional nutritionist to help him regulate his body, so you don't have to worry too much. And-"
"Don't make any more unreasonable demands."
Feeling the old man's dissatisfaction and the restraint of her husband beside her, although Li Yiqiu was unwilling, she dared not say anything in the end and could only swallow all the grievances silently.
"Dad, Yiqiu is tired. I'll help her upstairs to rest first." Zhong Mingyu spoke in time. At the same time, he turned his head to look at Zhong Nianyao and said apologetically, "Nianyao, your second aunt has just been discharged from the hospital and her mind is still not clear. Don't take the nonsense she just said to heart."
Zhong Nianyao nodded and said nothing more.
After Li Yiqiu's commotion, the originally good atmosphere in the living room suddenly became a little silent.
Even Li Yiqiu's departure didn't improve the atmosphere, so everyone dispersed and went about their own business.
Upstairs, in the room—
Zhong Mingyu looked at Li Yiqiu, who was half-lying on the bed, and said dissatisfiedly, "What were you doing downstairs just now? Can't you see that Mom and Dad are very unhappy?"
"You haven't even asked the truth, why are you blaming me like this?" Li Yiqiu felt very aggrieved. "The reason I did this is for our son!"
She finally gave birth to a son at this age, but he turned out to be weak and sickly and unable to take on such a heavy responsibility. She was really unwilling to accept this.
"If you force Zhong Nianyao like this, you can help your son, right?" Zhong Mingyu said as if he had heard a joke. "What kind of ability does Zhong Nianyao have to be able to do this? Our son was born with a deficiency. The doctor said that he can only recover slowly through nursing care."
As long as the child is well taken care of, even if he is weak and sickly, he will be able to live to a ripe old age.
If such a child were born in an ordinary family, it might be difficult for him to survive. However, if he was born in a wealthy family like theirs, he would receive the best care and would definitely not die.
"Zhong Nianyao can do it." Li Yiqiu's hands tightly grasped the quilt. "When we were in the hospital, a mysterious woman told me that Zhong Nianyao had the ability to make our child healthy. It's just that Zhong Nianyao didn't want to."
"Mysterious woman?" Zhong Mingyu frowned. "What mysterious woman? Why haven't I heard you mention her before?"
"I don't know where she came from, but she said that Zhong Nianyao has her own mysterious methods that can help our child." Li Yiqiu said confidently, "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have brought up such a thing today."
"That's pure nonsense." Zhong Mingyu sneered. "You believe what a stranger said. Don't we know what Zhong Nianyao is capable of? We've watched her grow up."
"But we don't understand her at all!" Zhong Mengxuan on the side suddenly spoke up, "Dad, Mom, do you think you really understand Zhong Nianyao? Didn't we always think she was a loser? But during this period of time, which of the things that happened at home had nothing to do with her?"
"Don't interrupt." Zhong Mingyu glared at Zhong Mengxuan. "Don't forget, you are the culprit for your brother's current situation."
